Title: looking for 2004 Omaha, NE - Sokol Underground poster
Post by: vandemusser on May 21, 2015, 02:32 PM
This was my first MMJ show, and I know that there was a poster made by a local graphic designer for it. I have been looking for over a decade for this thing and have just not had any luck.

If anyone has one they are willing to part with, I have $250 for you.

This will only discourage you further, but I too have been looking for that one for a long long time.   Never seen it and I spend a lot of time poster hunting.

Let's hope it never shows up on ebay or one of us will be broke and the other disappointed.

Ha! Sad, but true... Not sure what the print run was, but it might have been more than the number of people at the show. I guessed there might've been 100 people there. Andrew Bird opened. Talk about a stunning show. It was one of those times where you say to yourself as you are watching the show, "No one is going to believe I saw these guys way back in 2004 for 6 bucks in a basement".

Here's the artist who did the poster. Perhaps you could ask him directly?

Are either of you currently in Omaha?

I emailed him, but have not gotten a response... I used to live in Omaha, but moved to Asheville, NC right after that show. Still miss a lot about that city. Fun place to live!

according to my notes I emailed him in June 2010, and he said that he didn't have any more and hasn't seen any surface in years.   He said "sorry but I fear it will be impossible to find".

A slight update... got an email back from the artist. He had 20 posters for sale at the show... I imagine they were gone by the time I got there that night, but I'm still kicking myself.

If I could go back in time...
